I like this kind of idea, but perhaps to expand on it (and somewhat referencing an idea about a ‘pool’ put forward by @HugeOgre here: [Guild War Improvement for all (?)](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/guild-war-improvement-for-all/50915)), perhaps all positions in Brackets ~~41~~ + 101+ (_Eugh, 41+ sounded so much more appealing - let’s revisit this_) could be determined solely on Points earned in the previous war, taking into account Guilds moving down from Bracket ~~40~~ 100, of course.

(_Edits_ - I believe I may have misinterpreted the below graphic!)

This Bracket was chosen, because this is where the current reward tiers begin to increase, as shown here (10 Guilds per Bracket):

This would give all Guilds a chance each week to fight their way into the Brackets with better rewards; and they don’t get better rewards without proving themselves against other Guilds that have also scored very well the week before.

In addition, I had typically always thought it would be a good idea to give some kind of reward for winning a Bracket, but in all my brainstorming, I think I tended to end up with the same conclusion as Sirrian, here:

Relevant historical note/post:

> Rewards. Absolutely! I would love to revisit this. The concern of our publishing partner is that top guilds may lose on purpose to try and win lower brackets if we smooth out the rewards too much, but personally I’d really love to revisit rewards (including a nice incentive for placing highly in your bracket no matter WHICH bracket you’re in)
